    Unfair Rating for Small Dog Electronics

    Today the Small Dog Electronics website had a red WOT rating, meaning someone had said it was unreliable, even dangerous. In all my interactions with Small Dog, and from all reports I have heard from other Mac users, Small Dog has always been a good and reliable vendor. Could someone be purposely lying, to make Small Dog look bad?

    That can have several

    That can have several reasons. First, a site such as a spam blacklist might include that site. A human could also have made that rating. If you think the rating is incorrect, rate it yourself and be sure to leave a comment. In the Support section you'll find a tool to report incorrect ratings.

    Lying

    Just so you know, lying by making three different accounts and leaving multiple comments is not a way to get people to believe you any more. Yes, that's right, I figured it out, because I'm not stupid, like your idea of reversing the reputation of a website is.

    Whether you disagree or not, lying is not the answer.

    And that lie actually turned me more against believing that small dog is safe, and leaves me to want to rate it UNSAFE.

    So please, don't pull this stunt again. You can, and most likely will be banned if you do.

    WOT ROCKS!

    Not u

    IndiUnJay. Look at the website. It has little popularity, not many ratings. Look at the comments. It has three people with 0 activity score saying it's an unfair reputation. The fact that a website of not much popularity like that, would be rated by three raters on their very first rating is probably less than 0.0001 chance, and it's easy to tell that he made those accounts.

    WOT ROCKS!

      Proof..?

      Yes, I would also be suspicious here. But suspicions still isn't proof. The probability is very low, indeed, but not zero. So I still think we should 'hold our horses'. This should be investigated - before a conclusion. Not in stead of...

        Its him

        Two of the three raters have 0 activity score. The first website three people rate happening to be that one is not possible. In fact, WOT can check the IP of them and prove this.

        WOT ROCKS!

    Confused

    Wait a minute . . . wait a minute.

    Two questions to clear this up for my tired old eyes (simple answers, please).

    Wehaveitall: Who are you saying is lying . . . IndiUnJay or FlyAqua?

    Is this Small Dog website trustworthy or not?

    I think I know the answers to both questions, but I'd like a confirmation of my understanding.
